So you will continue giving the same through the years even though prices have gone up? We got mostly $100 from each couple 14 years ago. I wouldn't think of giving that less now as each plate costs that or more.

The point is how do you NOT know how much it was?

That's so weird. Maybe because the places did not have a liquor license? My dh used to work at a restaurant that did not have their license yet but you were allowed to bring in your own wine.

The next day we sat down with my parents and wrote everything down. I think we deposited it when we came back and they just held it for us until then.

I do try and find out how much other people are giving and usually it is the plate amount. The 2 weddings I am going to this year are very different, one in a backyard and one in a hall. I am only giving the one in the backyard $100 LESS because it was an oral invitation for 3 weeks and it does not give us much time to save for a gift.
I have not been to a wedding in 5 years even though I have been invited to others that I did not attend.
